Fox paid for it. As long as none of our tax money went to this it is not a problem.

The utter "garbage" spewed by the MSM these years of the Bush administration have totally stripped my power to guess what might be their next move. Its just too unbelievable.
I have lived a long time-----through many government administrations, both here and abroad. Not even the trash they used to smear President Reagan holds a candle to the present hysterical diatribe.

Fourteen Grand is more than a 1st Class fare ticket cost could possibly be from anywhere in Texas to probably anywhere else in the world, round trip as well.
When you think about it, the Rep is already being paid to be in DC anyhow.
This stinks.

If FOX wants to pay $13,998.55 to fly their guests in for a 10-minute segment, that's their problem.

Over 13 k is pretty excessive in my book. Most likely the cost to dispatch a company plane plus limo, etc. That is SOP for high value guest.

A more appropriate response would include what sort of ad revenue is generated by the show.
I have a feeling 14K is not a significant amount in the budget of that program.

Damn, 13 K . Did he go around the world to get to the studio?

I checked the Continental website. Last minute, first class airfare from Houston to LaGuardia is $2400 RT.I checked Southwest Airlines. The most expensive ticket from Houston to LaGuardia is $274 one way.
